David versus Goliath

We have launched the David versus Goliath campaign to raise much-needed cash online for Labour marginal seat candidates who have been targeted for years by Lord Ashcroft's money, the Davids across the country who are standing up to the Goliath whose influence is making itself felt.

As much is made of the British sense of fair play we think that the time has come to provide activists and voters with the opportunity to donate to our brave campaigners, the underdog Davids pounding the streets to make sure Labour's voice is heard.

So over the next few weeks, we will be profiling candidates in the seats which will determine the outcome of the next election and sorts of big bucks they are facing. Read on to see what evidence they have of the glossy magazines and posted mailings flooding their local streets and the valiant efforts they are making to show that Labour has the best policies to win in 2010.

Read the candidates' stories below and donate whatever amount you can to their campaign. £5 pays for leaflets for two streets, £50 pays for leaflets for 20 streets. This can make the crucial difference in getting our message across to voters. You can find the donation link at the end of each candidate's story.
